Dashy is a free service that allows you to create your own customized dashboards and manage logins for each user. It's self-hostable and runs on Docker.
Bookmarks aren't enough, and monitoring tools are too rigid. For home server administrators like you, ' Dashy ' is just right. It's a modern, open-source dashboard that organizes numerous service links on a single screen and allows you to check online status and install widgets such as RSS feeds and weather forecasts.

◆How to build Dashy
This time, we will set up an environment on Windows with
mkdir dashy
cd dashy
Create a docker-compose.yaml file and add the following content.
services:
dashy:
Image: lissy93/dashy
container_name: Dashy
ports:
- 8080:8080
environment:
- NODE_ENV=production
volume:
- ./dashy-data:/app/user-data
health check:
test: ['CMD', 'node', '/app/services/healthcheck']
interval: 1m30s
Timeout: 10s
Retries: 3
start_period: 40s
Create a folder for saving data.
mkdir dashy-data
Download the configuration file and place it in the 'dashy-data' folder.
curl -L -o conf.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/dashy/refs/heads/master/user-data/conf.yml
mv conf.yml dashy-data/
Start the container.
docker compose up -d
Accessing 'http://localhost:8080' in your browser will display the initial Dashy screen.
This is a convenient tool that allows you to manage various types of information on a single screen, although its users are limited to people who use multiple web services on a daily basis, those who have set up a home server environment, and those who always check the operational status of services as part of their monitoring work.
